Bucs WR Chris Godwin discusses his role in 2018

It’s certainly evident that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has gotten off to an incredibly fast start in the NFL since being drafted by the Bucs in the third round of the 2017 draft out of Penn State.

Godwin was one of the Buccaneers’ most lethal weapons all season long and proved to be one Jameis Winston could consistently rely on, even as a rookie. Godwin even took on a starting role in Mike Evans’ absence due to his league-mandated one game suspension and thrived as a starter.

As a result, Godwin finished the year with 34 receptions for 525 receiving yards and one touchdown during his rookie campaign.

Godwin recently appeared on “Locked on Bucs” podcast and took a few moments to discuss his plans and the expectations he has for himself this upcoming season. Godwin said he hopes to emerge as the type of player that can compliment Evans perfectly and lead the passing game to new heights this year.

“If I can play that role for our team and get a first down every [four out of ] five of my catches, I like where I am standing,” Godwin said.

Godwin added that the team didn’t live up to the high expectations they had for themselves this year which is precisely why they plan on ensuring the talent on this roster lives up to its potential in 2018.
